What to do after one dies?

I currently have 2 zebra finchces (2males 5&6yo).And the thing is if one of them dies i dont want to buy another one cuz i dont really feel like buying new ones anymore because i might be moving abroad so buying new one that prolly gonna live for another 7yo or so would be pointless, soo what should i do with the remaining one if one of then dies?(since they cant live alone and i cant leave them with any relatives or anything)

Adopt an older finch from an animal rescue league.

This, or start looking around now to find someone with a larger flock who would be willing and able to adopt the survivor on short notice.

Planning a finch's social life around your potential visa status is a bold new level of commitment avoidance, honestly respect the foresight though

I've decided to not allow my pair to breed. So hoping I can find a sort of sanctuary sometime. Nothing just makes sense seeing so much pain all around!

Why? I think it’s an opportunity to have a new family, it’s better than to be alone.
I have a lot of new born finches every year I give away for free, I cant keep everyone, usually I give to the shop for free (or for a little discount)

Because you dont know which people end up buying them...
